I am willing to admit defeat. When I was at the head office, I once said, The loser will treat you to dinner, and since I am the loser, I will be the host and treat you to dinner tonight."

Li Xiangdong heard Wu Aiguo's invitation and refused with a smile: "Aiguo! Today my daughter and son-in-law came back to visit us. I have to go home to have dinner with my daughter. I owe you this meal first!"

Hearing Li Xiangdong's answer, Wu Aiguo said to Li Xiangdong in a joking tone: "Section Chief Li! I have fulfilled my promise. You are the one who is not free. After passing this village, there will be no more shops."

Hearing Wu Aiguo's answer, Li Xiangdong said to Wu Aiguo with a smile, "Aiguo! If it's gone, it's gone. Anyway, when I want to drink, I'll come to you directly."

After bidding farewell to Li Xiangdong, Wu Aiguo looked at the watch on his wrist and saw that it was past five o'clock in the evening, so he rode his bicycle towards Tongluoguxiang.

"Aiguo! Are you back from get off work?" Wu Aiguo just walked into the courtyard with his bicycle, and Yan Bugui, who was pouring vegetables in the courtyard, immediately greeted Wu Aiguo enthusiastically.

Wu Aiguo heard Yan Bugui's words and saw Yan Bugui watering vegetables. He greeted Yan Bugui with a smile and said, "Third uncle! Let me teach you the idea of ​​growing vegetables in flower pots! Wait for the leeks and green onions. Once it grows, you will be able to save some money on grocery shopping.”

Yan Bugui heard Wu Aiguo's words and said with a smile: "Patriotic! I have to say, you young people are still smart. Now all of my flower pots have been planted with leeks. When the leeks grow, I will give some to you. You have a taste."

Wu Aiguo heard Yan Bugui's words, smiled and said to Yan Bugui: "Third Master! Then I will wait for your leeks!"

Wu Aiguo pushed his bicycle to the door of his house, locked the car, walked into the house, saw his mother cooking, and immediately asked her, "Mom! Where is my second uncle?"

Chen Shuying heard Wu Aiguo's words and immediately introduced to Wu Aiguo: "Aiguo! Your second uncle and your cousin took the car back to the countryside to pack their luggage in the afternoon."

When Wu Aiguo heard Chen Shuying's introduction, he nodded subconsciously and asked Chen Shuying, "Mom! What delicious food did you cook tonight?"

Chen Shuying heard Wu Aiguo's words and said with a smile: "Aiguo! I made some hand-rolled noodles and let's eat fried noodles in the evening!"

When Wu Aiguo heard Chen Shuying talk about eating fried noodles, he immediately remembered the taste of fried noodles, which made him swallow instinctively, and said happily: "Mom! I haven't eaten fried noodles you made for many years. gone."

When Chen Shuying heard what Wu Aiguo said, she smiled and said to Wu Aiguo: "Aiguo! You go and wash up first. After your father and the others come back, we can start dinner."

"Grandma! What kind of noodles are fried noodles? Yingying grows so big, she has never eaten fried noodles before!" Xiao Yingying ran into the house from the outside, and immediately asked Chen Shuying in a childlike voice.

When Chen Shuying heard her granddaughter's inquiry, she replied kindly: "Yingying! Zhajiang noodles are a very delicious noodle. You will know after you eat them."

At around six o'clock in the evening, when Wu Aiguo's family was eating together, Chen Weiguo, Chen Xiaodong and his son finally returned to Chenjiashan.

When Chen Weiguo's wife saw the father and son coming back from the city, she immediately stepped forward and asked Chen Weiguo, "Father! Why did you and Xiaodong come back? Could it be that Xiaodong's work didn't work out?"

"Osmanthus fragrans! What are you talking nonsense about? Xiaodong has already started working in the rolling mill, and Xiaodong was allocated a room at the rolling mill. My sister also bought 27 legs for Xiaodong. We took advantage of Xiaodong's return. I’m not officially at work, so I’ll come back to let you guys know.” Hearing what his wife said, Chen Weiguo happily told his wife the news that his son had a house in the city.

Chen Xiaodong's mother learned that the rolling mill had allocated a house to her son, and happily asked Chen Weiguo, "Father! Is the room allocated to Xiaodong by the rolling mill big? If our whole family goes to the city, can we live there?" down?"

"Father! Is our family going to move into the city?" Chen Xiaodong's younger brother, Chen Xiaoming, asked Chen Weiguo expectantly after hearing his mother's words.

When Chen Weiguo heard his youngest son's inquiry and saw his wife's longing expression, he replied: "Xiaodong's house is about 40 square meters, and it is divided into two rooms and a living room. Our whole family is going to the city. We can’t live in it at all. Xiaodong will go into the city with his luggage tomorrow, so we won’t go into the city.”

When Chen Xiaoming heard Chen Weiguo's answer, a disappointed expression immediately appeared on his face, and he asked Chen Weiguo: "Dad! Can I go to the city with my brother? I have never been to the city before."

When Chen Xiaodong heard Chen Xiaoming's inquiry and saw the disappointed expression on Chen Xiaoming's face, he quickly said to Chen Xiaoming: "Fourth brother! After I have completely settled down in the city, I will take you to the city to play."

When Chen Xiaoming heard Chen Xiaodong's promise, he said happily to Chen Xiaodong: "Brother! You said this yourself, you are not allowed to go back on your word."

Chen Weiguo heard the conversation between the two sons, and immediately asked his wife: "Osmanthus fragrans! Is there any food at home? Hurry up and get some food, and fry some eggs. I want to have a good drink tonight!"

Chen Xiaodong's mother, upon hearing Chen Weiguo's words, immediately replied happily: "Father! There are some steamed buns in the kitchen. I'll heat them up first, and then I'll fry some eggs for you."

"Weiguo! Are you back? How is Xiaodong's work?" Chen Weiguo had just reached the kang in the room when a middle-aged man walked into Chen Weiguo from outside and asked Chen Weiguo with a smile.

Seeing the people coming, Chen Weiguo thought of the fact that Chen Xiaodong had become a city resident, and said happily to the middle-aged man, "Brother! Xiaodong has reported to the rolling mill, and the rolling mill allocated Xiaodong a room in the city. "

Chen Weiguo's elder brother, Chen Weijun, learned that his nephew had successfully become a worker in the rolling mill, an envious look flashed in his eyes, and he smiled and told Chen Xiaodong: "Xiaodong! After you work in the rolling mill, you must work hard. Don’t embarrass your uncle and the others.”

Chen Xiaodong nodded quickly when he heard his uncle's instructions, and replied: "Uncle! I understand, I will definitely work hard and not embarrass my second cousin and uncle."

Hearing Chen Xiaodong's promise, Chen Weiguo smiled and said to Chen Weijun: "Brother! I just asked Osmanthus fragrans to scramble eggs. Since you're here, why not have a few drinks with me."

When Chen Weijun heard Chen Weiguo's invitation, he was not polite to Chen Weiguo. He took off his shoes and sat down on the kang. He replied with a smile: "Weiguo! Today is a good day. We should have a few drinks to celebrate Xiaodong." .”
